Were these the CHP officers who arrived at the accident scene??? (Sorry, all these years later I still think of Ponch and Jon when I hear CHP
)
Anyhoo...
The woman who hit your car probably
got down on her knees to plead her case with the nice policeman who visited her at home.
I wish at least the police had gotten her insurance information for you so that you could get started on having your car fixed.
